Weng Zhaoyuan was speechless when he heard Jiang Li's quotation.
The Fifteenth Route Army is really wealthy.
I don’t know how much wealth Zhang Xueliang saved in the Northeast.
Weng Zhaoyuan and others mostly have the same idea.
Without the foundation that Zhang Xueliang saved in Fengtian, Jiang Li was just a small battalion commander. , even if there is not a single soldier in the entire battalion, how many empty hours can it eat for a lifetime?
However, the obvious contrast is Zhang Xueliang’s wealth.
They almost gave it to the Japanese and had never thought of using it to do practical things before.
However, Jiang Li used the money to lay the industrial foundation in Gansu and formed an army to use on the battlefield against Japan.
This is also The reason why Weng Zhaoyuan chose to come to the 15th Route Army was that if Jiang Li had invested these precious resources in suppressing the Communists like Nanjing did, Weng Zhaoyuan would not have come.
"When will the production of this kind of transport truck be available?"
Jiang Li asked Yang Ming, the director of the automobile factory next to him.
"The current monthly production is 16 vehicles, mainly relying on the first batch of engines purchased from the United States.
In addition, Lanzhou's self-produced engines have been debugged.
When their production capacity is provided, Beizhong will be very fast, and they can arrive next month.
About 127 units , Beizhong can also produce 80 trucks.
Since there is still some time, Beizhong organizes workers to give lectures and take turns to train.
Now one technician has to lead several technicians, and there is no way to ensure quality. " Yang Ming said.
"Well, the production process has been simplified to a certain extent, but it cannot affect its general performance."
Jiang Li nodded.
There is no need to be too hasty in this regard for the time being.
It has been less than a year since the establishment of the factory, and there is still so much time in between.
There are roads to transport, and it is already good to be able to build a car now, but it only takes two years to build a car factory.
Producing about a thousand transport trucks is not an exaggeration.
After all, the amount of effort Jiang Li put into this was beyond imagination.
If it had not been for the current economic crisis, I am afraid it would not have been so easy to consolidate the automobile factory, tractor factory, and engine factory.
"With these trucks, plus the road rolling and road construction machinery purchased from the United States, the speed of road construction should be accelerated a lot.
However, you should also pay more attention to tanks and armored vehicles.
You have dismantled one, and there are detailed production drawings.
If the tank cannot be produced, don't blame me for the trouble."
Jiang Li put his hand on the front cover of the truck and sighed, then looked at the person responsible for tank research and development.
Talk to Tang Shijian of production.
"We can still produce tanks by following the rules.
However, it may take a little longer.
The transport trucks are not bad.
It is easy to hire technicians, but it is difficult to hire technicians who can build tanks.
In the Republic of China, The experience in this area is zero, and one or two technicians sent by Vickers Company cannot solve all the problems, ranging from tank engines, vehicle-mounted radios, tracks, and vehicle-mounted artillery," Tang Shijian said with a wry smile.
"It would be great if we could hire some British, French or German technicians."
"If only the technicians were so easy to hire, it would be better to return the favor to Britain, France, and Germany."
Jiang Li shook his head helplessly, but when he mentioned Germany, it was like a bright light suddenly flashed across his head.
Jiang Li seemed to be electrocuted and exclaimed, "Yes."
"What's going on?"
Tang Shijian and Weng Zhaoyuan asked, looking at Jiang Li with confusion.
"I have some ideas, but I haven't written anything yet.
You can continue to follow up on the development of tanks.
As for the foreign technicians, I will think of a way to see if I can do it."

Germany may be able to think of a way, but it may not be possible.
It can be done.
Calculating the time, Hitler should come to power soon, but he hasn't come to power yet.
As long as he is willing to spend money, there is still a glimmer of hope.
Lanzhou is still researching the production of tanks, and it seems that they are already somewhat familiar with it.
Weng Zhaoyuan thought that there were enough surprises today, but after learning about the temporary 1st Army lineup for this expedition, Weng Zhaoyuan found that he had never understood 15 Road army.
Originally, Weng Zhaoyuan thought that Zhang Zhibang's 2nd Division would have at most twice as many troops as the 2nd Brigade, and that the establishment of an additional 18-gun artillery battalion would be maxed out.
After all, even the German Arms Division in Nanjing only has a 12-gun artillery battalion.
But when he learned that the First Army had actually deployed an additional 36-gun heavy artillery regiment, Weng Zhaoyuan never closed his mouth.
In addition to the air defense company at the division headquarters, the military headquarters also deployed another one.
One-third of the entire 15th Route Army's air defense forces were assigned to the First Army.
Half of the heavy artillery was transferred over.
And the aviation force exceeded 80%.
Fighters plus bombers together reached an astonishing 52.
Such an elite force is much stronger than the combined force of Nanjing and the 19th Route Army in the Songhu Battle.
This shows that Jiang Li indeed spared no effort in the War of Resistance, and was not deliberately belittled by some newspapers in Nanjing.
When the temporary 2nd brigade and more than 5,300 soldiers of the temporary 2nd brigade embarked on the journey, Weng Zhaoyuan felt an unprecedented confidence in his heart.
During the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, the 19th Route Army was choked by Nanjing in terms of military support, reinforcements, and supplies of guns and ammunition.
Even with the addition of Zhang Zhizhong's extremely elite 5th Army, it was far inferior to the Japanese army.
When Jiang Wenhao arrived in Shanghai, Weng Zhaoyuan had personally fought alongside the Fourth Mixed Brigade.
He was extremely jealous of the equipment of the fourth mixed brigade.
At this time, the temporary 2nd Brigade he led was slightly less powerful than the original 78th Division, but its combat power was much stronger.
Whether it was the brigade-affiliated artillery battalion, or the level-firing artillery, heavy mortars and battalion-level 82 mortars, the combined firepower is far greater than that of the 78th Division.
Anti-aircraft machine guns, 4 20mm machine guns.
When it comes to technical arms, compared to Nanjing, which pays more attention to quantity, the equipment of the 15th Route Army is smaller than that of Nanjing, but this kind of advanced awareness is something that Nanjing cannot match at this time.
It would be a pity that Liu Zhanxiong did not come to the 15th Route Army, Weng Zhaoyuan thought.
It's just that a unit like the Juyi Army, with the strength of the 15th Route Army, can only assemble one such team, and there is no way to add a second one.
Lanzhou people, students and gentry lined the streets to see him off.
Weng Zhaoyuan and other soldiers passed through the spacious concrete streets.
Before the expedition, Weng Zhaoyuan could feel that there was a huge difference between Lanzhou's overwhelming propaganda about the anti-Japanese war and Nanjing's secretive and single-minded suppression of the communists.
At this time, the people of Lanzhou were focused on the army of the Eastern Expedition.
Looking at the people, the expectant eyes of the students, as well as Jiang Li, Shao Lizi and other military and political officials sent them off in person.
Weng Zhaoyuan, who was sitting on the horse, straightened his waist a little.
Lanzhou, only Lanzhou, could Weng Zhaoyuan feel such a strong feeling. anti-Japanese atmosphere.
Even Fujian, the base camp of the 19th Route Army, cannot feel this.
Under the overwhelming propaganda from newspapers and radio in Lanzhou, all the people had stronger hatred and fighting spirit towards the Japanese invaders in the west.
With such outstanding military equipment and such supportive people, this trip to Jehol will definitely produce a record worthy of these people:
